Awakening from the dream, golden legendary talent!

"Now tell me, what did you experience in the Dream Library?" Cao Xing asked.

The Dark Elf nodded gently, a complex light flashing in her eyes: "That was—an extraordinary experience."

"A few days ago, shortly after you let me enter the Dream Library, I suddenly fell into a deep sleep and drifted into a dream."

"In the dream, I became a baby only a few months old, and many strange humans appeared around me."

"They looked like servants, surrounding a crib to take care of me."

"I even had a name of my own, called Kali. My father seemed to be a noble, and from the way they addressed him, I learned that my father was a local viscount."

"Those servants seemed to respect my 'father' very much; he was considered quite conscientious among the nobles and was well-loved by the commoners."

"During my infancy, although I retained my own memories and could think independently, I couldn't do anything."

"Just like that, I spent three or four years in a daze, officially becoming a child."

"From the day I could hold a weapon, I grasped a dagger again and began to train myself."

"Although my parents found my actions strange, they were very supportive and would not oppose anything I did."

"Just like that—the time in the dream shifted again, and it seemed four or five years had passed."

"Life in the dream also entered a new stage."

Speaking of this, Sarah's tone trembled slightly, as if what happened next made it difficult for her to remain calm.

She took a few deep breaths and said slowly: "However, on that day, a group of powerful men in black broke into the manor, easily repelling the guards in the Viscount's Manor and slaughtering them all."

"Including my mother in the dream, she died tragically before my eyes."

"I gripped my dagger and fought back, killing several of the men in black, but I was too weak in the dream, possessing only Tier 2 or 3 combat power."

"Even though I possessed all my memories and combat skills, I was simply no match for them."

"With my father dead in battle, the Viscount's Manor was completely wiped out by this group of men in black."

"Just as they were preparing to finish me off too, the leader of the men in black seemed to see my talent for assassination, so not only did he spare my life, but he also took me away."

Hearing this, Cao Xing frowned.

Although he knew that these were things Sarah encountered in her dream, her experience was still somewhat bizarre and realistic—

This Dream Library was actually capable of creating such a complex and realistic dream world, which truly exceeded his expectations.

Shaking his head, Cao Xing said softly: "Continue."

Sarah nodded slightly, then continued: "Later, that leader of the men in black brought me back to the organization for cultivation and trained me using various strict and cruel methods."

"However, because I retained my own memories as a Legendary assassin, I was able to handle them easily."

"Later, the leader of the men in black seemed to think that I had extraordinary talent and focused on cultivating me."

"My strength also improved rapidly."

"Just like that, nearly twenty years passed in the blink of an eye."

"And I had reached the realm of a Master-level assassin."

"That day, the leader of the men in black told me that the murderer who ordered the massacre of the Viscount's Manor was none other than the Kingdom's Duke—Engelbert."

"This Kingdom Duke had done many heinous things in secret, and countless innocent souls had died tragically at his hands."

"My father in the dream had inadvertently discovered one of his secrets, which led to his demise."

"The leader of the men in black told me that he also wanted to slaughter all these dirty nobles."

"But due to his status, he couldn't make a move, so he hoped I could go and assassinate this Duke."

"And he told me that this mission would likely be a one-way trip."

"I knew I was in a dream at that time, so I had no fear in my heart and went directly."

Sarah slowed her tone and continued: "Relying on my own assassination experience as a Legendary assassin and this Master-level physique, I successfully completed the mission and assassinated this Kingdom Duke."

"And at the moment I killed the Duke, it was as if a certain goal had been completed, and the dream world began to crack."

"By that time, I also realized that I was about to wake up."

"Then, I remembered the Lord's reminder that I could bring one thing out of the dream."

"So, I seized the last bit of time and began searching for some precious items in the palace."

"Just at this moment, the body of the Kingdom Duke was discovered, and my actions were exposed."

"Many powerful auras erupted throughout the palace—Masters, Heroes, and even Legendary powerhouses."

"They began to frantically search for the murderer who assassinated the Duke."

"Under the sensing of a Legendary powerhouse, I was quickly discovered and suffered their siege."

"Relying on three lifetimes of combat experience, I slew several of their Masters and one Hero-level powerhouse."

"After so many people died, they finally realized the threat I posed."

"Then, the Legendary powerhouse made a move against me!"

Sarah's voice became low, as if recalling the scene of that battle.

"With my strength at that time, I had no chance of winning against a Legendary powerhouse."

"However—I saw more and more cracks above my head, and I knew I was about to leave the dream."

"So, I decided to fight to the death, preparing to have a life-or-death battle with the Legendary powerhouse."

"However, the Legendary powerhouse was too terrifying; I used all my strength, but I only managed to stab him in the heart."

"And with a casual strike, the opponent shattered all the bones in my body—"

"At the last moment of my life—I suddenly felt a familiar power!"

Speaking of this, Sarah's voice became excited!

"That power was the Lord's blessing, and at the same time, it allowed me to regain my Legendary strength!"

"Not only that, countless scenes and memory fragments appeared in my mind and merged together."

"The assassination experiences of three lifetimes merged into one at this moment."

"I reached a brand new realm in the dream!"

"I didn't know what that realm was, I just heard a vague voice in my ear."

"That voice told me—saying I had awakened the 'Heart of Assassination'."

"I don't know what the Heart of Assassination is, I only know that in this state, my strength, speed, and perception were all elevated to an unprecedented height!"

"Those Masters and Heroes were like grass under my blade, simply unable to withstand a single blow!"

"Including that Legendary powerhouse, he was completely unable to resist my offensive, and after a few bursts, I killed him instantly."

"In the end, only one Legendary powerhouse remained in the entire palace: the King of this country."

"Then, I directly used a Legendary combat skill—Shadow Thousand Kills · Death Strike, and slew the King."

"The dream also collapsed accordingly."

Sarah's voice gradually calmed down, but her eyes still shone with excitement.

After listening, Cao Xing's eyes also showed surprise and thoughtful expressions.

After all, the dream-entry state of the Dream Library only lasts for seven days.

Yet Sarah had spent more than twenty years inside.

The ability of this Legendary building was truly extraordinary.

Cao Xing nodded approvingly, "Well done, Sarah."

"So, what is the thing you brought back from the dream?"

Sarah replied solemnly: "It is the Heart of Assassination that I awakened at the last moment."

"I brought this ability back."

"Oh?" Cao Xing's eyes showed surprise again.

He quickly glanced at Sarah's panel, and sure enough, in her talent column, besides [Shadow Body], there was indeed an extra special talent.

Moreover, the name of this talent was also golden.

It was—Heart of Assassination!

"Good fellow, a golden talent, so special?"

With an expectant look.

Cao Xing quickly checked the attributes of this talent.

[Talent: Heart of Assassination (Legendary Talent)]

[Talent Effect: After entering combat state, this talent effect is automatically activated, increasing self-reaction ability by 100%, increasing the trigger probability of all skills by 100%, and increasing attack and movement speed by 30%!]

After reading the introduction of Heart of Assassination, Cao Xing's eyes were once again filled with shock.

"Good heavens! Reaction ability increased by 100%, skill trigger probability increased by 100%?"

"Isn't this Legendary talent a bit overpowered!"

These two abilities have never appeared before.

There is no need to explain the reaction ability.

As the name suggests, it is Sarah's reaction speed during combat.

As for the latter, the 100% increase in skill trigger probability, that is quite intriguing.

Cao Xing is not sure what range this increase covers.

But one thing is certain, and that is Sarah's other passive skill—Coup de Grâce.

The effect of this skill is: upon successfully hitting an enemy, there is a 30% chance to deal 225% damage, a 15% chance to deal 315% damage, and a 5% chance to deal 432% damage.

Now with a 100% increase, it becomes a 60% chance to deal 225% damage, a 30% chance to deal 315% damage, and so on.

It can be said that this has disguisedly elevated Sarah's burst capability to a terrifying level.

These two abilities alone are worthy of a Legendary talent!

The subsequent 30% increase in attack speed and movement speed are just bonuses!

"Good, good, good, this talent is really great!"

"Now Sarah has firmly sat back on the throne of the territory's number one single-target damage dealer!"

"Even the Legendary lightning mage Zevelin cannot compare to Sarah's damage intensity!"

Cao Xing turned his head, looked at Sarah with satisfaction, and then said: "This new ability is very good."

"It has been blizzard weather recently, go back to rest first and adapt to the power within your body."

"I will call you if there is anything."

This Legendary assassin nodded respectfully and said: "Yes, my Lord."

After speaking, she turned around, preparing to leave here.

However, before leaving, she turned around and showed Cao Xing a brilliant smile.

"It is really great to be able to meet you, my Lord—"

At this moment, Sarah's smile was like a flower.

There was absolutely no cold aura of an assassin on her body; she was stunningly beautiful.

Her smile was like a ray of warm sunlight in winter, leaving Cao Xing stunned for a moment.

It was not until Sarah turned into a shadow and disappeared from the spot that he came back to his senses.

Cao Xing shook his head, and a smile appeared on his face.

His gaze looked again at the Dream Library in front of him, and he thought to himself: "The power of this Legendary building is truly beyond expectations."

"Not only did it allow Sarah to spend over twenty years inside, equivalent to a lifetime of experience."

"What's even more outrageous is that it even allowed her to bring back such a powerful talent ability."

"I really underestimated it before!"

Before this, although Cao Xing was surprised that the Dream Library could bring items from dreams into reality, he did not hold high expectations.

He thought it would at most bring back some treasures or Epic quality items.

As a result, he didn't expect the things inside to be so extraordinary.

It even made him want to experience it immediately!

However, very quickly, Cao Xing shook his head.

"Forget it, I don't know how long this blizzard will last, and one dream session in the Dream Library requires seven days."

"During this time, the territory still needs me to preside over the big picture."

Thinking of this, he extinguished this thought.

"However—the Dream Library can be used once every seven days, so this time cannot be wasted."

"Now that Sarah has come out, let the next person go in."

Cao Xing began to think about the next candidate for the dream.

After considering for a while, he had already made a decision in his heart.

He pressed the communication device on his ear and said: "Braum, come to the territory library area to find me."

Yes, Cao Xing decided to give the second dream slot to this Legendary shield guard.

As the recognized strongest existence in terms of defense in the entire territory, Braum can now even withstand the attacks of a Demigod-level powerhouse.

With him by his side, there is basically no need to worry about his own safety.

And this Dream Library can obviously significantly improve the strength of Legendary powerhouses.

If Braum goes in and gains some special abilities, that would be a huge win!

At the same time, the rough response from the other side quickly came to his ear: "Braum will come immediately, my Lord!"

A minute or two later, a big guy arrived at Cao Xing's side.

Cao Xing explained the function of the Dream Library to Braum as usual.

And he specifically urged him to bring back what he considered the most precious thing to reality.

Braum listened carefully to Cao Xing's admonition, then nodded solemnly: "I understand, my Lord. Braum will definitely choose carefully and bring back the most powerful thing!"

Cao Xing had a smile on his face and nodded slightly: "Alright, then you go in now."

After speaking, he took ten Divine Power Shards from his backpack, which turned into rays of light and merged into the Dream Library.

The library door then opened.

Braum nodded respectfully and then resolutely entered the building.

"Clang!"

After he entered, the library door closed instantly, and the bubbles rose again.

This means Braum has already entered the dream state.

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, now just wait for seven days to see what ability this guy brings back for me!"

A touch of anticipation couldn't help but arise in his heart.

After doing this, he continued to return to the Lords Castle to wait.

In the following days, he had nothing to do.

He occasionally paid attention to the information on the forum, and then took a look at the combat information of the territory residents.

Seeing that the core members brought back prey, he went out to decompose these prey.

All the food was collected by him for unified allocation.

Materials like fur were sent to the Tailor Shop and Blacksmith Shop for processing.

Just like that, time flew by, and another five days passed—

When the system prompt at 6 AM ended, the violent blizzard still showed no signs of stopping.

Counting the previous five days.

That is to say, this snow disaster has lasted for ten days in total!

Due to the continuous snow, the world has been in a dim state, and everyone could hardly distinguish between day and night.

In the chat channel, many lords were discussing the problems within their territories in a flustered state.

Energy shortages and food scarcity were the most common.

Although these lords had already controlled the daily food consumption of their members to the minimum, it was still difficult to meet the demand, and many territories even broke out into large-scale riots because of this.

After the 'Blood Chaos' expansion pack ended, most lords realized that this was a good opportunity to expand the population.

So they also recruited a large number of refugees.

But no one expected that a blizzard lasting for such a long time would appear immediately after.

Because they didn't prepare too much food, and these new members were not well cultivated, their loyalty was not high.

Many territories broke out into quite a few collective riots.

Some refugees even wanted to rush into the Lords Manor to seize food and resources!

However, fortunately, these lords had developed to this day, and their subordinates had a group of loyal supporters.

Including their own strength, it had already started at Tier 5 per person.

There were even quite a few Survivors who had broken through to Tier 6.

Under absolute strength, these riots were quickly suppressed!

They cursed in the chat channel.

"Damn it! This bunch of unruly people dare to rush into my Lords Manor, they are really tired of living. I directly beat these guys half to death, and now they have all become extremely obedient."

"It's the same on my side, but I have locked all these unruly people up, and I will deal with them when I have time."

"Damn it! Really unlucky. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have recruited so many refugees. Now I barely have anything for myself to eat."

Many lords were complaining inside.

However, although the riots subsided, the problems were still not completely resolved.

The problems of food and energy made all lords feel a sense of pressure!

At the same time, in Cao Xing's Lords Castle, a few figures gathered again.

It was those few management personnel in the territory.

Dahua reported respectfully: "Respected Lord, over these ten days, more than half of the territory's food reserves have been consumed."

"However, because of your advance decision-making and the efforts of the warriors outside."

"Now the food reserves in the territory can still last for about 6 days."

The elderly Cao Yi and Yorun and others beside him also looked at Cao Xing with eyes full of admiration.
